The Boys Review Art!

Sometimes the boys put down their books and discuss other forms of "art." It all stems from Kip's provocative question of many years back: "SHOULD one do art?" A satisfactory answer has not yet been reached, but perhaps this series will help us to decide.

We start with something called the Mona Lisa:

Richard says: "Is she smiling or isn't she? I can't quite tell. I do not like my art to be ambiguous. Thumbs down."

Kip says: "She turns me on a little but yet I don't find her especially attractive. Gentlemen prefer blondes. The picture disturbs me, and I don't like art that disturbs me. Art should be uplifting. Thumbs down."

Z-Man says: "This is a masterpiece, you silly bitches. The only thing that comes close to it is Jenna's ass at Q's, and you can't hang an ass on a wall. At least not very easily. Thumbs up."

The man's reach exceeds his grasp!The Mona Lisa is in the public domain according to many sources. Although the actual artwork is owned by the Louvre, many argue that its images are in the public domain.There may be some question if this were blog-for-profit, but as it is, you are well within your moral rights, and probably your legal ones, to use the Mona Lisa.
